Why don't we do something about
the price of fuel? |
 |
I agree that there area many
ways to approach rising fuel prices at the pump, in order to
provide much needed relief to Ontario drivers. Unfortunately,
reducing fuel taxes does not ensure that tax breaks will be
passed along to consumers. Experience in New Brunswick, for
example, has shown that the oil companies have simply raised
their prices and eaten up any savings that the
government attempted to give to its consumers by lowering
gasoline taxes.
The federal government is responsible for the most recent
gasoline tax increase, raising its excise tax from 8.5 to 10
cents a litre on February 28, 1995. The most recent increase
in provincial gasoline taxes was on January 1, 1992, under the
former NDP government.
Our government is confident that the best way to ensure the
public pays a fair price for gasoline is for the federal
government to encourage more effective competition in the
marketplace and we encourage them to do so.
